That Water Pressure.

In justice to the Water Works Com
pany, we make public the statement of
Mr.. VIM. Rutherford, Master Mechanic
of the Florida Southern Railway, who
called at THE News office yesterday.
MIR. Rutherford says that just after the
building of Milton Cooper fell on the
night of the fire, he had the hose of the
Florida Southern shops attached to the
hydrant to see if anything was the mat
ter with the pressure. A thorough test
was made, and Mr.. Rutherford saws the
water was thrown as far and as strong
as at any previous time. He attributes
the weak pressure at the fire to the ex-
treme length of the hose and the large
nozzle used. Like the majority of our
citizens, Mr.. Rutherford is also strongly
in favor of having telephone commune
cation with the water works. SO that the
engineer can always be notified when a
fire occurs,

sUB.TROPICAL EXPOSITION.


Col. Forbes Addresses Meeting OF Pal0tka
Yesterday a number of the citizens of
Palatka met at the Board of Trade
rooms to hear what Col. w. T. Forbes
had to say in regard to the proposed
Sub-Tropical Exposition to be held in
Jacksonville this winter.
Col. Forbes presentsd and explained
that had been drawn up for the use of
the Exposition. The building which is
described further on looks very fine on
paper, and is so arranged that all plants,
shrubbery and exhibits will be shown to
the very best advantage.
The meeting was organized by elect
ing Maj. w. T.. Copper chairman, and
Martin Griffin, Jr., secretary. Col.
Forbes being introduced spoke at some
length and explained fully the
plans and purposes of the Exposition, and
read the prospectus as published in most
OF the newspapers of the State. He
stated that the city of Jacksonville had
subscribed $50, 200, and the railroad and
transportation companies another
$50, 900. From $50, 900 to $40 900 more,
however, was wanted, and the towns
throughout the State would be called on
to make up that amount by purchasing
the remaining shares. So soon as 800, 200
i'm cash is i'm hand, the Exposition Com
pany will be organized, the grounds
leased and contracts for the buildings
| let 1t is important, says Col. Forbes,
| that all subscriptions be sent in at once,
so that the work can be pushed and be
ready for business by january of next
year. A feature of the Exposition will be
/ the bazaar for the sale of fancy oranges
and other fruits. By this means an extern
sive home market is expected to be built
up for our fruit growers.
The following report, which was read
by Col. Forbes, will give a good idea of
what is proposed and what it will take
to do it I:

Comments of a Drummer.

Commercial travellers are not the free
living lords of creation that humorist
writer's are accustomed to describe. AS
class, believe, they earn the lowest
salaries Of any responsible element to
the commercial community. If you were
to size up the entire membership of any
of the travelling mems associations, I
think you would find that the average
salary would not be more than $1,000 a
year. Some few get $1,000 and expen-
ses, and a very small number run over
that amount. They are worked without
consideration of health or circumstances,
and the systematic manner in which their
accounts are audited will not permit a
very wide range from the actual expense
account. Knocking down is out of the
question, and while you may be able to
conceal shaving and bootblack work in
sundries you can not go beyond that
without provoking inquiry. A single
man can probably save $40 month on
personal living expenses by being on the
road, but he must pay room rent in the
city while he is away. A married man
estimates his savings on household sx-
penses while on the road at about $25 a
month, and that is the very best that he
can do. Ecn onoy teaches him to live
close at home and abroad.

The Capitol Out of the Season.


The capitol in the interim is fully as in
teresting as.when bustling with senators
and congressman, lobbyists and politi-
clans. The great space in the rotunda is
seldom without a score of tourists, who
listen with unframed heads to the nara
tions of the guides, who now that congress
has adjourned they can point out notables
at the rate OF so cents an hour, have
heightened out their descriptions of the
frescoes and paintings in the dome. AEnt
Clara, who knew Henry Clay, and educat-
ed her son by selling knick- knacks in the
corridor just off the rotunda, is still there
but the round-faced woman who sells
milk and molasses cookies in session
time has shut up and gone.
II tell you," says Amt Clara, "dat eet
ees de vera fullest days 1 efer saw. I
sells noting all dees day. I must surely
go to de poorhouse eef does kips on dis
way any longer"
At the door of the House Judge Well
.orn's counterpart sits at his card table
pen in hand, ready to write your name at
the rate of IS cents, but jobs are few, and
the card writer has read three of Ouida's
novels since the adjournment. Here and
there are solitary clerks going to their
committee rooms. The only people who
seem to feel at all at home are the capitol
police, who sit around the spittoons and
chew the great American solace as life
like as ever. The telegraph instruments
ceased their nervous din, and but for the
echoing football of the tourist the great
three acres of marble would be as silent
as tomb.

"A HEROIC INDIAN Lao.
Terrible Sufferings Endured by Native
Youth in Alaska.


Youth in Alaska.
| One Of the most heoric deeds that has
come under our notice of late was that re-
| Gently performed b. the Indian lad who
came out of the Yukon country with the
now deceased messenger, Tin Williams,
says the Juneau (Alaska) Free Press
| The boy is but Is years of age, but
| through binding storm, intense cold. and
nearly famished, he stuck to his bewild-
ered and helpless white com panion at the
imminent risk of his own life. It seems
that he and his companion left the mouth
of Stewart river with dogs and sled. At
Lake Lebarge ono of the dogs gave out,
| and upon reaching the top of the range
| another fell from exhaustion, leaving the
men without means of drawing their
effects. At this point severe snowstorm
overlook them. They were at very high
altitude, and the cold was intense, but
they struggled bravely on, and finally, in
half-frozen condition reached what is
known as the stone house, which is moth
ing but two large bewlders, three miles
below the summit. Here they built them
selves snow house, and subsisted for five
days without fire and food, except little
dry flour. The white man was badly
frozen, and from the sudden changes of
intense cold outside to the warmth of the
| snow hut ne contracted pneumonia, and
was unable to help himself in the least.
On the morning of the sixth day the half
famished travellers emerged from their
snow house, leaving all their effects with
In, and started for Chilkoot. The white
man had gone but short distance when
he gave out and fell down from sheer ex-
haustlon In the snow to die. The heroic
boy then took the white man on his back
and resumed his lonely journey. The
snow lay about two feet deep upon the
ground, the storm was raging furiously
and cold was intense, and the lad, with
the human burden on his back, was five
days making distance of twelve miles,
| when he was found by some Chikat In
dams. sled was then constructed, and
| by their united efforts the white man was
| taken to Healy's store, where he died a
| few hours after. For twelve days the
weary messengers were without fire and
food. The Indian boy was brought down
to Juneau few days ago on the steamer
Yukon. He was badly frozen during his
trip, but is now abou. recovered, with the
exception of one of his great toes, which
will probably have to be amputated. He
is from the far interior, but an intelligent
lad, and shows great interest in new and
strange sights he sees here. He gazes
with awe upon Jimmy Shakes coal cart
and horse, having never seen one latter
before; when he passed Cato, our colored
tinsmith, on the street, he stopped, look
ed at him, and Remarked: 'sThat man
must have been badly frozen to come out
sos black" He will remain here until
wram weather, and then return to his
home on the Yukon riYer. The good
citizens of Juneau will care for him as
long as he remains in our midst.
